NGKF Capital Markets has completed the sale of Fountain Valley Plaza, a 107,407-square-foot multi-tenant Class A office campus in Fountain Valley, CA. The asset was 91 percent occupied by nine tenants at the close of escrow and is located directly off the 405 freeway in the greater John Wayne Airport submarket of Orange County.
Paul Jones, Kevin Shannon, Blake Bokosky and Scott Selke of NGKF Capital Markets represented the institutional seller, as well as the buyer, San Francisco-based Swift Realty Partners.
“The greater airport submarket continues to experience positive market fundamentals, and Orange County as a whole remains a coveted destination for institutional investor groups seeking quality assets in strategic locations,” said Paul Jones, senior managing director with NGKF Capital Markets.
President of NGKF’s West Coast Capital Markets, Kevin Shannon added: “The buyer recognized the basis opportunity to add more value by making some minor capital improvements and bringing rents to market rates as leases expire. Orange County is a great basis market at this point in the cycle.”
Fountain Valley Plaza, located at 10540 Talbert Ave, is situated on 4.62 acres and consists of two, three-story buildings. It was built in 1986 and renovated in 2015. The property offers a distinctive architectural design, expansive window line, building and signage visibility from the freeway, balconies, lush landscaping, outdoor areas, and ample surface and subterranean parking with direct building access.
This transaction is one of several completed over the past 30 days by the NGKF West Coast Capital Markets team. The activity underscores the strength of the team and its broad capabilities having represented the buyer, seller and secured debt financing.
